Querrine

Querrine is designed with about 3-4 in./7.5-10 cm negative ease because the stitch pattern is so stretchy, with the added bonus of a double-thick hemmed brim that keeps your ears warm and keeps the hat firmly on your head. If you aren’t a fan of the mohair halo or can’t tolerate it, the pattern works just as nicely in a single strand of sport weight yarn (the orange/blue/tan sample shown in the photos was knit from a single strand of sport weight merino handspun).

To knit this pattern, you need to know how to:

1. knit and purl in the round,
2. work single (k2tog) and double (CDD) decreases,
3. increase via m1 increases, and
4. work a pattern stitch using a chart or written instructions.
